Message
from the
President
Dear HKICC Friends,
I have almost completed reading the book
“What got you here, won’t get
you there”, authored by the eminent
executive coach Marshall Goldsmith.
Marshall shares many interesting aspects
in this book but one observation left a deep
impression on me:
“As you go through life,
contemplating the mechanics of success and
wondering why some people are successful and
others are not, you’ll find that this
is one of the defining traits of habitual
winners: They stack the deck in their favor.
And they’re usually unabashed about
it.”
Keep
reading

| TOP 10 Reasons to work with an E-Coach |
 |
|
By Carole Lewis
1. An E-Coach provides guidance.
2. An E-Coach provides direction and
motivation and focus.
3. An E-Coach provides focus, resources,
tips and advice.
4. The client can work at their own pace
- no appointments and no deadlines.
5. The client can think things through
and take action at their own leisure.

| E-coaching: how it works |

Adapted by Carole Lewis from an article by
Keith Dixon of Academee
Learning Solutions
Let's begin with a definition of
e-coaching:
A two-way communication between a
Coach and Coachee that is enabled through
the use of technology, whether it be email,
telephone, online chat or bulletin
board.
This is clumsy, but accurate.
With the rise of e-learning, e-coaching
has become a popular way of replicating the
relationship between trainer and student.
Recognizing that despite the many advantages
of e-learning, people still need the human
touch in some form, e-learning providers have
worked hard to connect people with each
other.
So what are the issues involved in
e-coaching? What are the benefits and
difficulties of e-coaching, and what are the
skills needed to provide a good e-coaching
service?

As a finance professional, what
led you to coaching?
I’ve ignited my interest in coaching
since I realized two facts. First, many
people (including me) have suffered from
their blind spots in the processes of
financial planning and investing. Coaching
can help them improve financial performance
by defogging. Second, financial abundance is
not completing one’s life wheel.
Coaching can help people integrate the
pursuit of financial goals with other vital
aspects of life.
Tell us something unique about
your coaching style.
I adopt the “back-to-the-basics”
style of coaching, i.e. focusing on
questioning and listening. I like to imagine
coaching as a process where a coach assists a
client in browsing his/her
“intranet” (human brain),
spotting the “hyperlink” (the
client’s real problem) and exploring
the feasible solutions. Even as a finance
professional, I won’t give any
financial advice during the coaching
conversation but let the clients dig out the
financial wisdom by themselves.

JOIN
FEARBUSTERS!
What if I told
you… by joining a Fearbuster
Group you could change the way you
think (and feel) about your work, your
relationships and your life, while learning
how to get unstuck for good, eliminate
negative self-talk forever and become fearless! Much like book
clubs, Fearbuster groups choose a Fearless
book, 'Fearless Living', to read and then
meet to discuss it. We also integrate the
concepts and Fearbuster exercises between
meetings. Each group has a Fearbuster Group
Leader who facilitates and guides the
conversation.

DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF
EGYPT!
 Some years ago, I was finally
on my first trip to Egypt, this land of
mysteries and pharaohs and, of course, the
great pyramids. It was a special gift to
myself to have subscribed to this trip and,
as I was to see, an experience that was to
change my life and the course of it. Indeed,
6 months later I was no longer running the
successful business I had been involved in
for 15 years. Instead, I was starting to set
the milestones to organize and facilitate
journeys through this magical land and
eventually also to other destinations, with
strong energy vortices and pull, with an aim
to share the wonderful experience and to
facilitate growth and consciousness.
This journey is indeed
a trip through Egypt...

Hello Coaches!
Hot (and humid) on the heels of the 10th
Anniversary of Hong Kong’s Handover to
China, I’m writing from unseasonably
crisp and cool New York City where I’ll
celebrate my home country’s 4th of
July holiday. I was a little worried that my
host’s broadband connection might be
incompatible with my laptop, but quickly
realized I could just mooch off of any number
of neighbors’ wireless services.
Are you like me, late to pick up on
trends, or do you already have your own
coaching blog? Over the next couple of
months I plan to feature alternative forms of
coaching delivery. This month, Carole Lewis
starts off the series with electronic
coaching.
Do you offer a trendsetting coaching
approach? Please share your story with our
readership!
Stay cool,
Michelle Gabbe
Editor,
HKICC
